Deepening communion with God is the invitation and adventure of our lives. We want it, and we’re looking for methods that will help us realize it. But we must have an experience of God if we are to pursue God with our whole heart, mind, soul, and body. We will engage with 4 time-tested ways in which Christians have donethis, as well as a fresh way in our time: through yoga posture flows to hymns as embodied prayers that offer a way into a peaceful encounter with God in meditation.

Fr. Tom Ryan is a certified yoga instructor and author of 17 books on the spiritual life, including Prayer of Heart and Body; Reclaiming the Body in Christian Spirituality; and Praying by Hand, Praying with Beads.

No experience necessary. Whether you want to deepen your practice or if you’re new to the practices of Christian meditation and yoga, Fr Ryan provides space and tools for all.
